Listen here, donât make get my belt!! Time to lighten up a bit as we delve into the (2001) cult comedy POOTIE TANG from writer director Louis C.K. This ridiculous spoof is spun off from a character that first appeared on The Chris Rock Show, where Louis C.K. had his early start â and hereâs what you have⦠Lance Crouther stars as Pootie Tang, a crime fighting superhero and recording artist who speaks in an unintelligible gibberish that seems to be a combination of Ebonics and street slang. Despite his communication problem, Pootie is a hero to children, whom he attempts to protect from the evil Dick Lecter, a corporate fat cat out to corrupt Americaâs youth with alcohol, tobacco, and junk food. Pootie also runs up against an artistic imitator and a sleazy recording executive. Pootie Tang co-stars Chris Rock, Wanda Sykes, Dave Attell, and Bob Costas and Conan OâBrien as themselves.
